Most pork products you buy in traditional and health food stores come from pigs that are kept in close confines built on concrete slabs without adequate space to move, lie down or even root which gives pork natural minerals. The concrete causes arthritis in the animals making the meat tough, and the animals are often filled with antibiotics and pain medicines to cope with the unhealthy living conditions.

Free-range pork products come from animals that graze on grasses, wild berries and other plants natural to their diets. They are allowed to roam, root and forage as nature intended. With free-range pork you ger smaller cuts of meats that are more flavorful and healthier than that of their mass-produced counterparts.
